How far you can go on a full battery
(without a solar panel)
FACTORS THAT INFLUENCE RANGE:
​
Assist level: The less assistance you ask of the motor, the farther you can go
Total weight: bike, battery, baggage & rider
Headwind or tailwind: self explanatory if you've ever pedaled a bike
Terrain: the steeper the hills, the faster the battery drains
Speed: the faster you drain a battery, the less it wants to give you. See the following table for bike speed (range without the solar panel):
EXAMPLE:
​
If your battery has a capacity of 720 watt-hours, like the Pedego, and you are riding 20-22 km/h, then your range would be 90 km under normal circumstances (720 ÷ 8 = 90)
